Up by one at 79-78 with 10.8 seconds left in the game, Babson’s Joey Flannery missed the front end of a 1-and-1 at the line.

As Augustana grabbed the rebound and went back on offense with a chance to win the game, Flannery sprinted the full length of the court to block a potential championship-winning layup by Augustana’s Nolan Ebel.

“That’s not the first time he’s run down a ball to save a game for us,” Babson coach Stephen Brennan told the AP of Flannery’s heroics.
